<p>In 2010, a number of organizations supporting libraries and archives sponsored the first <a href="http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/preswk" rel="nofollow">Preservation Week</a>; a week-long effort to bring attention to the many millions of cultural artifacts held in museums across the US that are in need of preservation or conservation care. This year, Preservation Week is being held April 22-28, and institutions throughout the country are highlighting their many <a href="http://www.facebook.com/preservationweek" rel="nofollow">efforts</a> to take good care of their collections.</p><p><a href="http://www.mopa.org/blog/17-04-12/preservation-week" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.mopa.org/blog/17-04-12/preservation-week#commentsDubois Libraryphotography bookspreservationTue, 17 Apr 2012 19:04:41 +0000kessinger2679 at http://www.mopa.orgDubois Library Snapshots: Souvenirs Entomologiques, by J.

<p>Out of the 20,000 books held in the Dubois Library, there are more than a few treasures; books that illustrate and document early photographic processes and subjects, or were created by seminal photographers who have left their indelible mark on our visual history. These books are incredible to see and touch and hold. They provide true connection to a medium and a past that is quickly changing and evolving.</p><p><a href="http://www.mopa.org/blog/26-10-11/bread-book" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.mopa.org/blog/26-10-11/bread-book#commentsDubois Librarylibraryphotography booksWed, 26 Oct 2011 16:31:53 +0000kessinger735 at http://www.mopa.orgThe Dubois Library: Books & Technologyhttp://www.mopa.org/blog/26-09-11/dubois-library-books-technology
<p>I have vivid memories of my elementary school’s card catalog, the beautifully polished wood, the shiny brass handles on the drawers, and the mass of white and yellow cards, all heavily marked with pencil and typewriter ink. &nbsp;It all seems so quaint and antique now, and I nostalgically remember the process of finding a library book as such a lovely ritual.</p><p><a href="http://www.mopa.org/blog/26-09-11/dubois-library-books-technology" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.mopa.org/blog/26-09-11/dubois-library-books-technology#commentscatalogcollectionDubois Librarylibraryphotography booksMon, 26 Sep 2011 18:38:27 +0000kessinger513 at http://www.mopa.org
